The published Unicorn flag has blue over red horizontal bands, with a white-framed white unicorn’s head towards the hoist, facing the fly. U309 derives from Brown 1995, which Rosanoski says actually shows U27 with a slightly enhanced panel. These renderings are subject to the later correction by company participant Syd Oram.

Syd Oram, involved in revising the logo and later a director, supplied desk-flag evidence for the stylised head and rejected the earlier published rendering. A June 2006 company-magazine table flag supports U146. The unicorn and panel have blue outlines with an outer white border. Wildebeest’s 2009 photographs confirm an air-sea-rescue funnel shade and mirrored sides, with the head facing forward on both. Oram says modified forms continued in Unicorn Shipping divisions after the Unicorn Lines name ceased.

Oram describes an initial mid-1960s logo showing the whole rampant red unicorn in profile facing right, derived from Union Corporation’s emblem, and an early-1970s revision to the stylised head. The published U307 and U308 renderings are retained, but Rosanoski cautions that the evidence discusses logos and does not clearly establish either as a flown flag.
